That $700 termite inspection I skipped cost me $4,200 in repairs on a duplex in Nashville
Paid a pest guy $150 to look at one unit after I saw mud tubes, but he only checked the basement, missed the entire back wall where the damage was hiding, and now I'm gutting two rooms has anyone else had a cheap inspection miss something huge?

$150 is basically nothing for an inspection, you get what you pay for.

150 bucks for an inspection is actually plenty in most cases. A typical home inspector walks through for an hour and a half, pokes a few things, and writes a generic report that misses half the problems anyway. Half the time they don't even get on the roof or check the crawlspace properly. What exactly are you getting for that extra 300 or 400 bucks besides a fancier binder?
